Copywriting FAQs

Yes, almost certainly. I regularly write blog posts, sales emails, white papers, reports, ebooks and social media posts. I’ve also written video scripts, CVs, print articles and physical brochures. I’ve even been tricked into writing someone’s university midterm paper.

Just because you don’t see it listed here, doesn’t mean I can’t write it. Drop me a line – I’m unlikely to say no.

Absolutely. Sometimes I’ll even supply screenshots. Let’s talk.

I have written technical manuals and administration guides in the past, and I’m open to doing it again. If you have a specific project in mind, we should talk.

In addition to Pounds Sterling (£GBP), I regularly accept payment in Euros (€EUR), US dollars ($USD), Swiss francs (CHF), Polish Zloty (PLN). Other currencies may be available on request.

Prices are calculated on a project-by-project basis. You can find details about how I calculate my quotes on my copywriting rate card.

I’m always open to negotiation. Let’s talk.

No.

When you hire me, you’re choosing a writer with more than 20 year’s experience of the IT industry. And I’m not just some typewriter monkey either – I worked in IT support and management for 16 years before becoming a copywriter.

You’re paying for experience and high-quality copy.

I’m not the cheapest copywriter, and you don’t want me to be either.

Here’s why cheap copywriting sucks.

Actually, the correct question is ‘how do you work?’ After all, my job is to simplify yours. Your business has its own way of working, and I do whatever I can to accommodate your preferences. You can be as hands-on or hands-off as you like during the project – all I need is an understanding of what you need. Then it’s over to me to deliver by the agreed deadline.

Possibly. Drop me a line and we’ll talk.

It has been done before, and it will be again. But we need to talk now if you want it to happen. Drop me a line using the live chat box to get started ->.

No.

I work to your preferences, so I use a wide range of copywriting tools and comms services for my clients. I’ve listed some in order of preference:

Documents

• Microsoft Word
• Apple Pages / iWork
• Plain text / RTF
• Scrivener
• Google Docs (but I’d really rather not)

Video conferencing

• Apple FaceTime
• Microsoft Teams
• Cisco WebEx
• Blue Jeans
• Zoom
• Google Hangouts

Project management

• Trello
• Astana

If you need me to be part of an ongoing project long-term, I’m also happy to join your Slack channels, or to use one of your corporate email addresses for client comms.

Yes and no. I have clients across the globe, from the USA to Australia, Ireland to Poland and many other places in between. Annoyingly, I have yet to meet most of my international customers in person.

I am very much based in the UK and I am most definitely a native English speaker though.

Although I offer international copywriting services, my language skills are quite poor. I speak French and German to high school level, and I’m learning a few hundred words in Polish.

I am very good at working with people from across the world though, helping to turn their ideas into great copy – and sales.

No. The clue is in the name – BEN LLOYD.

No. Please stop asking already.
